This chapter focuses on domain-specific approaches to learning. It discusses the notion of a domain, core and noncore domains, structure mapping, and the domains of animate and inanimate causality. The chapter also identifies the primary features of noncore domains and concludes by contrasting core and noncore domains.
Keywords: domain-specific approach, learning, domain, structure mapping, animate causality, inanimate causality, noncore domains
